In this paper, we employ the view model given by Bertino to propose a new design approach for a secure multi-level object-oriented database system. The central idea is to provide the user with a multi-level view derived from a single-level secure object-oriented database. Hence the database operations performed on the multi-level views are decomposed into a set of operations on the single-level...

At ISPEC ’12, Samelin et al. show that the redactable signature scheme introduced at VLDB ’08 by Kundu and Bertino does not always preserve the structural integrity of the tree signed. In particular, they show how redaction of non-leaves promotes descendants and allows a third party to add new edges to the signed tree. This alters the semantic meaning of the tree and is not acceptable in certai...

A study was conducted to determine the kinetics of Fasciola gigantica infection induced antibody response against oxyclozanidelevamisole in naturally infected bovine of South Gujarat, India. Faecal analysis on before, 1st, 4th, 8th, 11th and 37th days post treatment (DPT) recorded 67.14, 34.29, 5.71, 0 and 0% parasites infected bovines. Either parasite(s) positive indigenous cattle or buffalo b...

A cross-sectional study was carried out in four indigenous communities of Costa Rica to detect presence and prevalence of Babesia caballi and Theileria equi and to investigate factors associated with presence of these hemoparasites. General condition of horses (n = 285) was evaluated, and hematocrits and hemoglobin were determined from blood samples of 130 horses, which were also analyzed using...

BACKGROUND Systematic evidence on the patterns of health deprivation among indigenous peoples remains scant in developing countries. We investigate the inequalities in mortality and substance use between indigenous and non-indigenous, and within indigenous, groups in India, with an aim to establishing the relative contribution of socioeconomic status in generating health inequalities. METHODS...

BACKGROUND National cancer survival statistics are available for the total Australian population but not Indigenous Australians, although their cancer mortality rates are known to be higher than those of other Australians. We aimed to validate analysis methods and report cancer survival rates for Indigenous Australians as the basis for regular national reporting. METHODS We used national canc...

Distinguishing 'indigenous' and 'Western' as two types of knowledge is not only potentially ridiculous, but also counterproductive for those who believe that indigenous knowledge has a contribution to make to sustainable development; There is actually nothing new about the rhetoric and practice of indigenous knowledge; The strategy of archiving and disseminating indigenous knowledge runs counte...

Indigenous Australian women have much higher incidence of cervical cancer compared to non-Indigenous women. Despite an organised cervical screening program introduced 25 years ago, a paucity of Indigenous-identified data in Pap Smear Registers remains. Prevalence of cervical abnormalities detected among the screened Indigenous population has not previously been reported. We conducted a retrospe...

OBJECTIVE Most people who die by suicide never seek help, particularly members of ethnic minorities. This study compared the prevalence of contacts with mental health services, types of services accessed and factors related to help-seeking behaviors by Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. METHOD All suicides by Indigenous and non-Indigenous persons from Queensland, Australia, during the...
